Paulustor, Graz, Renaissance city gate in Inner City district, Graz, Austria.
The Paulustor features a three-story structure with round-arched passageways and triumphal arch design, incorporating substantial sandstone elements on its eastern facade.
Built between 1606 and 1614 by Hans Bertoletto, this gate formed part of the defensive fortification belt protecting the expanding medieval city of Graz.
Two sandstone cartouches on the facade display relief coats of arms of Archduke Ferdinand II and Maria Anna of Bavaria, created by Philibert Poccabello.
The structure houses administrative offices of the Steiermark government, managing residence permits and citizenship services for the local population.
The second floor contains three ornate stucco ceilings with banded work from 1730-1735, while the original wrought iron portal gate remains intact.
